“In reality, the past is preserved by itself, automatically. In its entirety, probably, it follows us at every instant; all that we have felt, thought and willed from our earliest infancy is there, leaning over the present which is about to join it, pressing against the portals of consciousness that would fain leave it outside.”
Love is a complicated thing
But he stared at her in disbelief. “You think I didn’t kiss you because of
your scar? Or spoken to you of attachments because of it? Oh, Red. There
are moments when I believe you see nothing of the truth,” he said, then he
smiled sadly. “There’s a lovely, idyllic innocence to you. Like you think
there’s still good left in this life. Gods… it’s been over a decade since I’ve
seen some brightness outside of Quent. I don’t know how… how to be
around you.”
Her cheeks flushed bright red. She would understand someone like
Almira intimidating a man, but never Hira. She said all the wrong things
and angered too quickly. She was flat-haired, flat-chested, clumsy, and
impulsive. She’d grown up never being allowed to explore the world for
herself.
She was a painting where only the edges were drawn and all the wild,
vibrant colors were yet to bring the image to life.
“And what is the truth, Commander?” she asked in a hush.
His mouth slacked opened, and he seemed to wish to speak, but he
stopped himself. He looked down and played with the sack in his hand.
“The truth is complicated. But there’s one thing I know. You intrigue me.
Things seldom intrigue me anymore. I’ve seen too much. You’ve been a
puzzle since the moment I fought you. Each time I think I have the last
piece, you reveal something else, and I understand nothing. But you’re
important, where I am dispensable. The world can manage without
Commander Seaver, but not without Hira Balik.”
She studied her hands in the moonlight as he tossed the apple into the
ocean.
He took a deep breath. “When I was a young man, I never knew what I
wanted. I was the eldest, so naturally I would become the commander. My
brother… always knew what he wanted and who he wanted. He never
questioned it. He was bold and rash, and I tried to keep him

US President Trump has announced that they have reached the final stage in the Iran issue and has called on Tehran to sign a new agreement, otherwise military means will be used. In this regard, Trump noted that his ultimatum-like letter has been delivered to Iranian leader Khamenei and that they are waiting for a response from Tehran.
The other day, Khamenei stated that instead of agreeing on the nuclear issue, Trump is trying to dictate additional conditions on other issues. According to Khamenei, Trump's demands include imposing restrictions on the country's defense capabilities and international relations, interfering in investment and production policies, as well as imposing limits on the flight ranges of missiles. Khamenei has announced that they will not accept these demands. In other words, Khamenei is keeping the door open for nuclear negotiations, but does not want to discuss other issues.
As it turns out, Trump wants Iran to abandon the regional interventionism it has been pursuing since the revolution. There are three goals here: first, Iran should refrain from threatening Israel, the US's main ally in the region; secondly, Iran should not interfere in the internal processes of Arab countries “loyal” to the US; thirdly, Iran should not join the Russian-Chinese line against the US and should not be active in the “global south” camp. In return, Trump offers Iran to lift economic sanctions, thereby strengthening its economy and modernizing its technology.
In fact, the US is offering Iran to become a kind of Turkey of the 1950s-2010s: an Iran that does not take steps contrary to US interests in the Middle East, but withdraws into its own shell. Such an Iran will allow the US to establish order in the Middle East and soon leave the region. In other words, the

Flowers surround me, alone with my drink,
I pour for myself, no companion to join me.
I raise my glass and toast the full moon.
Who shall with my shadow make us three.
KİTAPLAR ÖLMESİN (DON’T LET THE BOOKS DİE)
Sadece canlılar mı ölür, peki ya kitaplar? Kitapların da bir ruhu yok mudur?
Kitap sektörünün ve yayıncılığın zor günler geçirdiği günümüzde, acilen bir şeyler yapılmazsa eğer kitaplar ölecek ve kültür büyük bir darbe görecektir. Kitapların ölmesi demek, toplumun hafızasının ölmesi demektir ki bu da ciddi bir zihin krizi yaratır. Bizler sadece iklim krizi ve küresel salgınlar değil farkına varamasak da, zihin krizleri ve teknolojik salgınlar da yaşarız. Kitapsız kalan bir milletin hayat damarları yavaş yavaş kurur ve fikir yakıtıyla aydınlanamayan beyinler gün geçtikçe karanlıklarda boğulmaya başlar. Buna ben ‘’modern cehalet’’ adını veriyorum. Bizler kitaplardan uzaklaşıp modern çağın cahilleri hâline gelirsek eğer, geçmişle bağlarımız kopar; kültürel mirasımız ve geleneklerimiz yok olmaya başlar, düşünce ve bilinç ekseninimiz ise gittikçe daralır.
Diyeceksiniz ki -e kitap ve yapay zekâ- kitapların yerini alabilir. Sizce gerçekten alabilir mi? Ruhu olmayan bir makina, beynimizi tek başına tatmin etmeye ve çalıştırmaya yetebilir mi? Dikkat etmezsek eğer bizler de dijital insanlar hâline gelip robotlaşacağız ve robotlardan hiçbir farkımız kalmayacak. Empati ve duygu yoksunu bir toplum olmak ise ileride ciddi suçlar ve tehlikeler doğurabilir. Dikkat ediniz teknoloji gelişiyor ama insanlar bir türlü mutlu olamayıp antidepresanlara başvuruyor. Tüm bu nedenlerle teknolojiden uzak mı kalacağız? Elbette hayır.
Teknoloji baş döndürü bir hızla ilerlerken dikkat etmemiz gereken en önemli şey, beynimizi ve geleceğimizi teknolojiye ve yapay zekâya esir etmemektir. Bizler, bilinçli bir şekilde geleceğe hazır olmalı, beynimizin kontrolünü ele almalıyız. Beynimizi esir edersek sadece elimizdekileri değil geleceğimizi de kaybetmiş
